    The service here was was very good and professional. Its a bit fancy, and there was a mediocre piano player/singer. We were less impressed with the food. It was pretty good, but we expected better for the price.

    Visiting New York and happened across this beautiful little restaurant. It was the only place we felt we had to come back to during our short stay (which we did). Our second meal demonstrated that it was not the honeymoon effect of arriving at a new destination!The staff were friendly, very approachable, and willing to help. The place was cosy and decorated for the season (we were around in late January to little hearts and rosy tinsel) and the live piano made for a very romantic atmosphere.And the food… we had one of their specials (chicken on the night), their spaghetti marinara, and finished on the tiramisu. It was nothing short of outstanding.We did not sit in the bar area towards the front of the restaurant but it was lively as we passed through and the layout is such that diners would not know that there was a bar there, making it perfect for dates, birthdays, or any event where diners can just forget the outside world and exist in the meal.When we are back in New York, we will be returning!

    Atmosphere is great and always welcoming. We are not New Yorkers but have been going to Rossini’s every time we visit NY, for almost 25 years. Yesterday we had the chicken Marsala and a steak and it did not disappoint. I always have the Caesar Salad and my husband has the bisque. Food was prepared to perfection and the bread and wine were were perfect! Family owned and operated with their special attention to detail! It’s the best of New York!

    Thank God there are still places like this. The interior is pleasant and calming; the space is private and intimate; the acoustics are gentle and practical; the service is excellent; the food is delicious which all combines to make a memorable and very satisfying experience. I take out my clients to lunch here all the time and it never fails to disappoint. This establishment is well managed. 5 stars.

    This was the best Italian I had in quite some time. I had a long Island iced tea, but the drink wasnt great, but the rum and cokes were good and strong, also really quick. But most importantly the good was amazing. I had fettuccine Alfredo and tiramisu, I just wish there was more because they were so delicious.

  • Review 6 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Went to this Italian restaurant a week ago. Food was wonderful, and so was the staff. Its an old school Italian place with reasonable dishes and prices and they have been around for roughly 45 years, you cant go wrong stopping by this gem.

  • Review 7 (2024-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    The service was great! The food was amazing, including the dessert! In love with everything I ordered. One of the best tiramisu I’ve ever had!Definitely will come back next time☺️

    The food, the Italian wine, the dessert was such absolutely amazing. I have never tried pasta like this before, I have the spaghetti a la carbonara and I really enjoy every minute. Stuff were very attentive and profesional, and the atmosphere pretty nice too.

  • Review 9 (2024-11-14 - Rating: 4)

    Grilled octopus is good. The stripe bass and seafood pasta is good. Sautéed onions and mushrooms are good.Serving speed is a little slow on 2nd course. Service needs to be better.This is the only restaurant that doesn’t have honey for my tea among around 300 restaurants in Manhattan have been.

    Rossinis is an interesting spot—I appreciated the variety on the menu, but the execution left something to be desired. The ambiance was nice, though!

    Definitely a place to come back.10 out of 10 in food quality and service.A place to slow down and have an amazing meal with family and friends.

  • Review 12 (2020-01-09 - Rating: 4)

    Was craving Italian food mostly pasta, and came across this place just wandering around. It didnt look busy from the outside but as you walk deeper into the restaurant the tables were all filled from the back. The manager greeted us as soon as we walked in. The wait staff was attentive. My pasta craving satisfied. I had a gnocchi and our table shared the artichoke appetizer and a bottle of wine. It was a Monday night, we didnt have a reservation and there was no wait.

    Just an old fashioned excellent vibe restaurant with excellent service and sensational food. Most the staff has been there for years, some several decades.

    Mistake on an appointment we had. Decided to get something to eat. Did not know where to go. Rossini’s was close by. Such a wonderful experience! The staff was very attentive. We were seated in a corner table ( just like in the 30s&40s movies. Wonderful atmosphere. The food was superb. A lovely lunch. We’ll be back! Thank you Rossini’s!! PS - the choice of music was perfect! Frank Sinatra can’t be beat. Only we hoped to hear “You Will Be My Music”, our wedding song. Maybe next time!

    Great spot in the city for a holiday party! Thank You Rossini’s! It was a pleasure DJ’ing for one of your well known customers.

  • Review 18 (2023-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    The culinary experience at this restaurant is nothing short of extraordinary, with each dish bursting with unforgettable flavors. The portions are meticulously balanced, ensuring a satisfying meal from the first appetizer to the last bite of dessert. This place isnt just good; its a gastronomic revelation. Be warned, securing a table can be a challenge due to its popularity, so I highly recommend making reservations well in advance. And if you can, request Xristos as your server for an impeccable dining experience.

    I made a reservation to celebrate my Girlfriends birthday. A little nervous at 1st. Hoping it was a good choice. By far the best dinner experience ive ever had!! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! Thanks for making us feel special

  • Review 21 (2018-11-19 - Rating: 5)

    This is a must when in New York. We enjoyed the intimate feeling of the lighting, to the opera singers, to the impeccable service of the staff. I had mussels for the first time, and the white wine broth is to die for. We both had a pasta dish and were pleased.

  • Review 22 (2024-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    They have been in business for 44 years, its a neighborhood place, and run by family. Yes, this is what you want.Food: Perfectly cooked salmon with Dijon mustard and capers. Too many cooks think that is a simple dish, and it can be, but then if you dont pay attention, you get rubber salmon. Not at here. It was a lovely medium rare that easy broke to the fork. The butternut squash soup was the special and it was divine. Too many places rely on heavy cream to mask their inadequate techniques. This was light on dairy with a beautiful, sweet squash forward flavor.Service: I was a 1-top because I was traveling for business. A one-top is a pain in the a$$ for most restaurants. Not tonight. Rossinis treated me like I was special. It started as soon as I walked in the door, and it was great service through the whole meal. And, my waiter, Wilson, who has been there for 28 years, made the experience fantastic. You always want the experienced waiter at any restaurant, and he served me tonight. I loved it.

  • Review 23 (2024-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    We went to Rossinis for a birthday dinner after a NYC show. The meal was soon good! We ordered the eggplant as an Appetizer which was delicious and hot! The entrees were equally as good. The colognes sauce was perfection. Seriously just great food in a nice, quiet restaurant with great service! We will definitely go back. A gem!

  • Review 24 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 4)

    Very cozy atmosphere and the food is always on point. Nothing spectacular, but always a good meal and great entertainment.

  • Review 25 (2024-02-15 - Rating: 5)

    We chose Rossini’s for our first family dinner in NY on Valentine’s Day because it was near our hotel and advertised live piano. Our son plays piano and our daughter is a vocalist so the musical theme spoke to our dynamic. The host was warm and welcoming and the restaurant had a cozy and comforting feel upon entering, with the dining room being at the back, two levels separate by a short staircase. Our table was in the corner and provided a great view of the room, including the pianist. Our server was a younger guy who loosely resembled a young Ray Liotta which helped the ambiance. The waiters wear tuxedos which helps make the event feel special. The room was well decorated with Vday fanfare and the food and drink were spectacular. We ordered calamari which melted in your mouth, pastas in marinara and pesto sauce, a braised pork shank in a delicious gravy and halibut in a champagne sauce. The drinks and wine were great as well. A beautiful feast for our family on Valentine’s Day and we will be back again someday. Grazie Rossini’s!

  • Review 27 (2023-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    I got the fresh green fettuccine with pesto topped with chicken. It was the best meal I had in New York! The atmosphere, food, staff, experience was 10/10. Highly recommend to visit and they make a great espresso martini!

  • Review 28 (2023-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    I love Rossinis. I usually get a chicken and vegetable dish - but Im quite picky, and the chef and service team are always very accommodating in delivering exactly what I want. Wine selection is excellent. The menu is extensive without being overwhelming. I make it here about 5 times a year and cant wait to be back!

  • Review 30 (2024-02-24 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely amazing food and wine. Some of the best Italian food Ive had in the US. I am so glad we wondered down here on our walk.

  • Review 31 (2017-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    We got the chance to eat here this weekend during our familys NYC trip, and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating even with our four children, who, although normally picky eaters, said it was the best pasta they had ever eaten. The atmosphere was great, very upscale and they even had opera singers to entertain. I would highly recommend it. Thank you again!

  • Review 32 (2023-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Very good Italian food (best carbonara I’ve had in NY) and nice old-fashioned service. BUT lots of screaming drunk middle-aged white businessmen ruin the atmosphere.

  • Review 33 (2019-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    My husband made reservations for this place last week as we ventured as first timers to NY. Based on these google photos he was thinking it was kind of a kitschy place with authentic Italian food. It was SUPER fancy! And we were totally under-dressed... but the waiters and staff were forgiving of that and so nice and helpful. First off, the building is beautiful, I wanted to tour the whole place. As far as dining, I have never experienced a more well-executed clockwork of service from any restaurant staff: EVERYTHING came at just the right time and never intrusive. They were amazing and so fun to watch. The food was delicious and very fresh, none of the flavors were overwhelming like some Italian cuisine can be, it had a pleasant homemade appeal. I would definitely recommend taking your spouse there for some romance rekindling 😉 (but dress up or you’ll feel stupid)

  • Review 34 (2022-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Atmospheric Italian “chic” restaurant that seems to have been around for a few decades… A lot of space, very professional and friendly service, reasonably mastered dishes - gastronomic side, so no pizzas… And a wonderful wooden bar where you long to sit for a couple of hours pre or post-dinner. One of the recommendable food locations I visited in Manhattan.

  • Review 35 (2021-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    We are from Minneapolis and visited NYC for the first time over the weekend. I chose this place for a late birthday dinner and they did NOT disappoint. The service went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the food was amazing. We will be back next time we visit & thank you for making our stay in the city a little bit better :)

  • Review 36 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    I stopped in to Rossini‘s late afternoon after walking around the city for hours for some comfort food prior to leaving for the airport. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was to die for. The sauce was very tasty and not too thick yet definitely fulfilled my comfort food need. They had just decorated it and it’s beautiful at Christmas time! The biggest thing that stands out to me the staff is very friendly. I will definitely return!

  • Review 37 (2020-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    I went there during festive season which means clouded people there. But our order came pretty fast. The atmosphere is very nice making me feel like in ‘God Father’ movie. Service is very professional but yet friendly. For the food, we order 3 starters and 3 main dishes. I ordered mussel and seafood risotto. The seafood is so fresh and it tastes excellent.

  • Review 38 (2019-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite Italian Restaurant. On my last visit, I was with 2 sisters, a cousin and a friend on their first Christmas visit to NYC. The waiter was charming and went out of his way to make our meal memorable. He never told us “no.” We split entrees and shared desserts. Just thinking about the taste of the food makes me smile.

  • Review 39 (2022-09-03 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent northern Italian restaurant located in Murray Hill. Large selection of pasta items and they are very good about making something if its not listed on the menu. The veal chop and linguini in garlic and oil with sausage was great. Nice selection of dessert...the canoli was fresh and crispy.

  • Review 40 (2024-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    Ate a superb dinner last night. I very seldom order a chicken dish when eating out but Im glad I did. Best chicken dish Ive ever had. My wife had the octopus and it was tender and flavored quite well. I did have shorts on but did not feel out of place. We always sit at the bar anyway when we eat out. Its always fun and you tend to meet some great people. Met and talked with a nice couple and a beautiful lady named Mikala who shared her dessert with us. Our bartender was Maryanne and was just delightful. We had a great night and hope to return. Would definitely recommend.

    Booked a table for 8, smooth reservation process. Large circular table in the main dining room. Live piano player. A bit on the noisy side for a business dinner but would be great for a date. Veal a la Rossini was excellent, as was beet salad. Good wine. Solid service. Great value.

    While the food can be a little inconsistent with quality and taste, I think thats what makes it authentic. The carbonara is an absolute heart stopper but I always grab a little bowl of it. The staff is so wonderful and is one of my absolute favorites in midtown. What are you waiting for, go enjoy!

    Have been a Rossini’s customer for years . The food is superb and the attentive staff is well heeled and make you feel very welcomed . We have been pampered by them whether a party of 4 or holding an anniversary dinner for 30 ! Victoria and her husband Bruce bring enjoyable opera and American standards as well as personal requests right to your table on Saturday nights . Your special evening starts with a warm , genuine greeting by the owner or a family member that starts a most enjoyable evening .

  • Review 51 (2019-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    What an amazing experience we had at Rossini’s tonight. Not only the food was excellent, but the service was top notch from beginning to end.My wife and I are visiting NYC for a night, and we feel so lucky we came across this place. The spaghetti carbonara is probably the best I’ve had in my life, and my wife’s gnocchi bolognese was beyond delicious.Since the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The ambiance is quiet but warm, and there are even live singers who come to your table to ask for any special songs you may wish to hear.If I were spending one more night in Manhattan, I would go back to Rossini’s without any doubt!

  • Review 59 (2015-06-28 - Rating: 5)

    My Fiance and I were wandering around in NYC looking for something to eat. I dont eat meat (Dave does), so we were looking for a place that could accommodate my food preferences that had an open kitchen. We stumbled upon Rossinis and walked inside because Google said they were open until Midnight. The owner was standing towards the exit politely thanking guests as they finished their meals, ensuring that they had a top notch experience. There was live music with opera which sounded beautiful and added to the atmosphere. Their kitchen was closing but they gestured for us to come inside because they said they couldnt leave us out in the rain. We were greeted by half a dozen smiling wait staff who were all dressed in tuxedos. They offered to make us anything we liked, even if it wasnt on the menu. They served us fresh bread with a delicious side of bruchetta, a great appetizer to a delicious meal.They made me a delicious Fettucini Alfredo (full of vegetables, which I asked for), and made Dave Chicken saltimbocca even though it wasnt on the menu because Dave doesnt eat veal. Even though most people were leaving, they encouraged us to finish our meals and not to rush, as they wanted to make sure that we truly enjoyed the experience. Some of the staff proudly said that they had worked there for 18 years!!!! (Rare in todays restaurant industry, for sure!!) If anyones looking for a great meal while in NYC, Id definitely recommend Rossinis. Thank you for a great meal and for saving us from the rain!!

    Great, old-school service with classic Italian food. Watch your wine though: the 2014 we ordered ended up being a 2016!

  • Review 92 (2018-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely ambience, great food, and attentive service. The trifecta of eating out. But the opera arias and piano made it a superlative experience.

  • Review 93 (2019-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    This place was fantastic - a real hidden gem! Delicious food (I had the veal with lemon sauce and a tasty glass of the house Cabernet), attentive and courteous wait staff, and a comfortable and warm ambiance was a pleasant find for this restaurant that I found on the Open Table mobile app.

    Rossini offers an authentic Italian experience with tuxedo-clad servers, a coat bar, and a great wine selection. The service is incredibly attentive and fast. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. We had an incredible evening enjoying the best veal chops we’ve ever had. A true must-have Italian experience in NYC!

    What a wonderful Restaurant in the heart of Manhattan. Took my baby here for her birthday. The restaurant is classy and has a great menu. Service and staff are wonderful.

  • Review 97 (2019-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing proper, polite, professional service. Real neighborhood Italian. And as expected, the food was amazing, but even this is eclipsed by the atmosphere and the people.

  • Review 98 (2017-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    The food, ambiance, and decor are all quite clearly derivative of the classic Italian-American style here at Rossinis and I loved every minute of it. One of my dining partners remarked that the layout of the restaurant was very classy in an old-school-cool way, and another said they felt they were transported to the restaurant from the movie Goodfellas.All hyperbole aside, we had a great time here. It is very formal, so do not underdress. We all ordered a variety of dishes including seafood, steak, and pasta, and the consensus was that they were all delicious. Comfort food is how it can be best described...everything is very savory.Drink selection is great too, however if you are used to dining at places that have set drink menus like myself, youll also be surprised at the lack of one here. However, although there are no true house cocktails, the bartender could mix every drink we asked for (negroni and french martini to name a couple).I recommend Rossinis for those looking for a very formal and upscale Italian meal...Best enjoyed with a large group like family or friends since the tables are huge!

    Fantastic Authentic Italian Restaurant.We were greeted at the door by the owner who brought us to our seats and summoned a waiter. After we were seated, we were immediately offered drinks and asked if we would like to see a wine menu.Ordered our appetizers first and told the waiter to hold on putting in the main course order until we were 100% finished with our appetizers. Every request followed by a real professional staff.Food was outstanding and the staff, owner included, was warm, gracious and accommodating to any/all of our requests. Plus, a bonus, opera singers filled the dining room with music and cheer.Want cheap Italian food? Go to Olive Garden.Want real Italian food with ambiance, come to Rossinis. You will not regret it.Reservations recommended...

  • Review 122 (2023-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    By far, one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the City. The vibe is formal (people wearing T-shirt & jeans will feel out of place). The food is excellent and the service is always professional. The restaurant often has a pianist & singer on Friday/Saturday (call to confirm), which ads a special element to the experience.

    We chose to dine at Rossini’s on Saturday night because that is when they have the piano and opera singers. We were not disappointed, they were great. The food is outstanding. I had the shrimp cocktail appetizer and my wife had the baked clams, both were very good. My entree was the red snapper and my wife had the veal Romano. They were excellent. Our food came out fast but we were not rushed. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you can, go on a Saturday for the singers. It was a great evening.
